So I watched the fucking thing.  And while I’m très tempted to haul out the special message I’ve already passed along to these delightful, if somewhat retarded, children, I think this totally rates a new one:

Annnnyway, I’m also glad to have someone else view the videos that I Just Won’t Watch, like this knob-slobbing abasement, A “Presidential Pledge” to President Barack Obama.

Just the title causes reverse peristalsis, so you can imagine what an actual viewing does, but reading the article and the comments kind of crystallized for me the WHY of the lower-intestine infection that is Hollywood, as I commented over there:

Sometimes I spend a nanosecond or two wondering how these self-involved genetic lottery-winners come by their leftward leanings, and I think I’ve figured it out… For the ones capable of actual thought processes, ie. the bosses, conflict on a national level cuts down on the disposable cash of the average American, ergo less movie-viewing, DVD-buying. And we can’t have that. For the ones less acquainted with cogitation, ie. the pretty ones, it’s more of a herd/survival instinct. Soooo much easier – and success-making! – to parrot the “party” line than actually spend valuable spa-time pondering the issues and formulating their own opinion. Besides, that might make WRINKLES!!!

There.  Mystery solved.
